Short poems, my favorite, I am a lazy Kat.
I'll start from the bottom, I liked your twist on a well known saying and I feel like it really wrapped up your poem. It's not often I stumble across an ABC DEC etc. rhyme scheme but I think it work well for you. I feel like a broken record saying this, beaus I say it to everyone even myself, but the only thing I wish there was more of would be images. Your piece is excellent at making me feel the struggle of the reader through what you're telling me but I wish I could see it in my mind, see the words cutting into the author. What I mean is that it's often hard to convey emotions through showing rather than telling but this will do wonders for your pieces in the future as your progress as a writer.
Congrats on your first work here and welcome to YWS, happy to review for you and help whenever you have questions!
Kat.
